Hi all,
I have a loop region that is controlled by a simple parameter - continue looping if parameter is 0, otherwise ignore loop is parameter is greater than 0.
However, if I change the parameter less than ~half a second before the end of the loop, the audio loops again. I know that the parameter is changing before the end of the loop because other audio tied to the parameter changes without any noticeable latency.
Is this something I have to live with, or are there workarounds?
You can see in this image a red box I’ve marked - if I change the parameter anytime from here the audio still loops. Yes, I have the parameter set to instant.

This is likely due to how often the FMOD system updates. You can add a transition marker at the beginning of the loop region to go to the “Start” destination marker with the same conditions of leaving the loop region. This could act like a “catch” for if the system doesn’t update in time to recognise the new parameter value

Thanks for your response - I only just saw this! I’ll try that 🙂

Just tried this and unfortunately doesn’t seem to work - I’ve found a workaround for the time being but unfortunately this is a pretty big dealbreaker for me for future projects!
Would there be any other code workaround / way to increase how often FMOD updates?
Thanks for your time 🙂

You can adjust the rate that the FMOD system updates by adjusting the `studioupdateperiod` in the `Studio::System::setAdvanceSettings()` function.

Thanks Richard, will take a look at that!
